So let me get this straight, Michigan decided to leave the @NCPGambling because @Kalshi joined. But when you actually look at the state's consumer protection report card, they absolutely suck. Maybe focus first on protecting consumers before playing politics.
Make it make sense!
After I moved from America to Lebanon, my mom made it a goal for me and my brother to go back.
“The future is there” she’d say.
She made endless sacrifices to make that happen.
She was right 🇺🇸
Had an excellent time speaking with @JacobRobinsonJD for this wide-ranging episode covering all things prediction markets. If you’re looking for the deep dive, this is it.
Copy. Paste. Send.
FOIA records show @AmericanGaming drafted a template letter attacking prediction markets, emailed it to "independent" state gaming regulators, and Maryland later submitted a nearly identical version to the CFTC on official state letterhead.
Drafting courtesy of the casino lobby.
🚨 NEW POLL: Just 8% of voters say prediction markets should be banned.
Voters across party lines strongly prefer clear federal oversight over a 50-state patchwork.

There's literally no one better to be Dir. of @HarvardIOP. @BFischerMartin has built successful university-based "real-world" programs for college & graduate students, has an excellent reputation/significant respect from both sides of the aisle & knows IOP well as one of the most sought after Fellows in years. Perfect choice.
We’re thrilled to announce @BFischerMartin as the next Director of @HarvardIOP. Betsy brings decades of experience at the intersection of politics, policy, and media, and we could not be more fortunate to have her at the helm as the IOP begins its next chapter. https://t.co/p77mPSgyyk
Best summation yet of the legal battles re: prediction markets: “One major takeaway: this is not a D versus R issue, but a casino versus consumer issue.”
Biden Admin Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar just weighed in on the fight between prediction markets and states with a powerful brief for @PredictAction.
One major takeaway: this is not a D versus R issue, but a casino versus consumer issue.
A quick 🧵on her argument.
On behalf of @PredictAction former Solicitor General Prelogar just filed a masterpiece of an amicus brief in the @Kalshi Sixth Circuit appeal. In addition to laying out the history underlying the @CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction over prediction markets, she makes three key points for which the states have no real answer:
@marcadelman is too modest about himself in this piece. He, too, knows "a thing or two" about the importance of storytelling. Well done, Marc....as always! Those students are extremely lucky to have learned from you.
With pride, gratitude, and a level of vulnerability I seldom share, I can say this: creating this program is one of the most important things I have ever done.
It changed me.
It is not that I have not done things that mattered before. I have. But this mattered in a way that felt deeply personal. For a long time, I had not felt that rare combination of doing something that was meaningful to me and valuable to other people.
This program gave me purpose. It reminded me that bringing people together around ideas, stories, public life, and yes, EXCITEMENT, is not just what I do. It is who I am.
More than anything, I find myself yearning to continue this work in new forms and new places. Because it had a profound impact on my life. And I hope it had an impact on the lives of those it touched as well.

For America’s 250th, @Meta is giving every blind veteran in the country free Ray-Ban AI glasses. That’s 130,000+ people getting their independence back. Perfect way to celebrate our 250th by helping those who sacrificed dearly to get us to this milestone birthday. @DinaPowellMcC
“I can’t think of a better way to honor America’s 250th birthday than by giving those who have sacrificed so much a way to make their lives better”: Meta is giving free Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to every legally blind veteran in the U.S., Meta president @DinaPowellMcC and @UFC president and Meta board member @danawhite announce.
Today, we announced that Kalshi will now require employment information in order to trade in certain markets.
Market integrity is a more than just a lofty goal for us. It’s the reason we collect identification info from every trader, why we surveil our markets 24/7, and why we continue to expand our capabilities to prevent, detect, and punish misconduct.
The work is never done, but we are proud to mark yet another big step today in leading the prediction market industry on the issue of integrity.

Critical investment here.....for everyone, not just trade workers. And, exactly the model that's proven to work -- providing a "bridge linking America's workers with America's needs." @Meta@DinaPowellMcC
Today @Meta is proud to launch America’s Workforce Academy with our partners.
This program will provide paid training, certification and a job for Americans of all backgrounds to be part of building American leadership in the world.
Because we believe the Future is for Everyone.

“Kalshi alerted the Justice Department and the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission about bets Santos placed…” - this is exactly how the system should work, @Kalshi identified the bad actor and turned him in to the feds.
I've worked with dozens of electeds, CEOs, companies and causes to tell their stories and cut through the noise. The best way to tell a good story is to have one — and @Kalshi has a great story to tell. I and my @precisionstrat colleagues are excited to dive in.
Excited to advise @Kalshi as they continue to dominate the prediction market space. They're one of the fastest growing companies in the US — and one of the rare tech platforms that take a regulatory first approach.
